Paige Hurd Mother
Hurd revealed she liked performing from an early age and would often entertain the rest of the family while they would be waiting to be seated at restaurants.
She told W magazine earlier this year: “My mom was like, ‘Hmm, well, okay.’”
The star went on to say: “By the time I was five years old, I was in J.C. Penney print catalogues and mall runway shows.”
